After downloading the new version of iTunes the program will no longer start on my MAC.  any ideas?

after downloading the new version of iTunes on my MAC book pro it will no longer start.  any ideas? 

If you have an iBook G4, (PPC) you can't do much.
But if that is a MacBook (intel) you may be able to
upgrade the OS X, if the hardware is up to it...
Since there were about nine different build models
of MacBook (not powerpc iBook) to identify what
one you have would be the first step to knowing
what OS X and RAM upgrades it could use.
If the computer is not already at OS X 10.6.8,
it can't go online to get or use OS X 10.7.5. So,
when you more accurately describe the 'Book,
detailed information is available.
When you find the serial number, there is a web
page that can be used to identify by serial no.
http://www.powerbookmedic.com/identify-mac-serial.php
That'd be a first step. Or even the Model number
which should be visible on the outer case by hinge.
Good luck & happy computing!

  • Problem after download of new version of iTunes

    I just downloaded the newest version of iTunes and all went well until I synced my iPod... It told me to disconnect and now it is showing me a picture of a plug going into a wall outlet. I have never had a cable to plug into the wall, only a USB cable for the computer. The iPod will not do anything but display this picture now...

    When updating or restoring some iPods via a usb connection, it needs to be plugged into power via the charger to complete the process, and this is why you see this icon displayed.
    It's also why older iPods that required this step were supplied with a power adaptor as standard.
    You may be able to complete the process via a car charger, or via a powered firewire port on the computer (with the required 6 pin cable of course) if you have access to either of those. Or maybe visit an Apple store if one is nearby.
    Or you can try this.
    No power adaptor? Try this.
    Other than that, your iPod cannot be used until you complete this process.

  • After downloading a new version of ITunes, it want's to re-register my IPad as a new IPad

    I connected my IPad 2 to my laptop today to back it up so that you could pick it up.  iTunes notified me that there was an update to iTunes, which I installed, and now iTunes seems to want to register the iPad as a new iPad?  We had gone through the registration process before when you initially installed it, so I don't understand why it's not recognizing it.  Will my current profile and backup's be over written?

    You aren't speaking to Apple on this forum. This is a user-to-user help forum.
    If you are having problems call Apple support. Presumably you have a contact number if you are return an iPad?

    I downloaded a new version of iTunes, then rented a movie to watch on my laptop. Now I cant find the rented movie or how to play it. Please Help.

    It should be in the Movies part of your library - if you select Movies, then is there a Rentals tab on it with that film in it ?

    ITunes worked fine on my Windows 7 machine.  Had to rebuild the machine but all the data remains.  Downloaded a new version of iTunes and cannot figure out how to load all of my music currently on my hard drive.  Tried moving "iTunes Library" file.  Did not work.  Never had trouble like this before.

    Many thanks for your post. I've been trying for days to get this sorted and was getting well fed up with I-Tunes. Really thought i'd never get it working again. Tried un-installing it, loading older versions and they still wouldn't work.
    Came across your suggestion by chance and top man - it worked..!!!!
    How you even knew what to do is beyond me - but thanks so much. I really was pulling my hair out.
    You need to put your post over the Web as there seem to be loads of people having the same trouble.
    Thanks again.

    I am unable to download iTunes on my second Windows 8 computer (64 bit). I got it fine on my first one and have used it quite a bit. After downloading the program and installing it on the second computer, I keep getting this error message: "Apple Mobile Device Failed to Start." This happens when when my IPhone 5c is connected via Wi-Fi and I have clicked on "Trust This Computer." (I have tried to install several times-- It gets hung up when it reaches"Starting Services.")

    Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (Later)
    Remove all of these items in the following order:
    iTunes
    Apple Software Update
    Apple Mobile Device Support
    Bonjour
    Apple Application Support
    Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
    See also HT1925: Removing and Reinstalling iTunes for Windows XP or HT1923: Removing and reinstalling iTunes for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
    Should you get the error iTunes.exe - Entry Point Not Found after the above reinstall then copy QTMovieWin.dll from:
    C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support
    and paste into:
    C:\Program Files (x86)\iTunes
    The above paths would be for a 64-bit machine. Hopefully the same fix with the " (x86)" omitted would work on 32-bit systems with the same error.

  • I just synced my iphone 3gs after downloading the Safari upgrade, now my iphone won;'t open any apps except the ones loaded on my phone when I got it.

    I just synced my iphone 3gs after downloading the safari update.  Now I can't open any apps except the ones that came with the phone.  I have tried rebooting, turning it off and on. 
    When I select the icon, it goes to the page then returns to my screensaver.
    It was working well before the update and sync with my Acer netbook.  Have never had any problems with itunes store or downloads.

    this happened to me with my iPhone 4. I researched the problem and found this :
    "The reason this happens is because every time a downloaded app is opened it checks for your itunes password for validation that you are authorized to open that app (as it may contain personal info). From time to time the iphone 'forgets' your itunes password. You can fix the missing password by syncing the iphone with itunes or downloading an app from the app store and entering your password that way.”
    And to fix it, all I did was download a new app, or delete a current one, I used Facebook, and re-download it.
    Hope this helps

  • I need to download a newer version of itunes on my 10 year old mac. I can no longer sync my iphone to my computer itunes without this update. I have tried unsuccessfully 4 times, and have no idea what I am doing wrong. Suggestions anyone?

    Tell me how to download a newer version of itunes on my old mac so i can it will sync to my iphone please.

    Click here, buy and install the DVD, and then run Software Update twice. If you're actually using Mac OS X Server, you'll need to phone the online Apple Store instead of using the link I posted.

  • Just downloaded a new version of itunes on windows 7 and is not responding

    Just downloaded a new version of itunes on windows 7 and is not responding

    For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
    The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down the page in case one of them applies.
    Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.

    I downloaded a new version of Itunes on my PC now some songs and videos have stopped working as well as ringtones have disappeared.

    I've been working on this all day!!! I've tried everything I know of and can't get it to load either. Sounds like lots of people are having problems. Here is what I have so far...I have uninstalled EVERYTHING on my pc from apple and reinstalled itunes to no avail. I have tried all sorts of things I've read as fixes online. NOTHING has worked. Here is something interesting that i have noticed though. my main pc (which is the one i have always managed my itunes account with for years) is a 32 bit system running windows 7. Yesterday I installed itunes for the first time on my new netbook which is a 64 bit (windows 7) system and it works just fine. i have three other laptops (all window 7) in my household that are all 64 bit operating systems and ALL have updated to 10.5 and THEY ALL work fine. this is FOUR 64 bit systems ALL updated w/10.5 that work and ONE that is a 32 bit that will not. Can't get any help from apple. their suppot *****! I want to get someone on the **** phone or a live chat but cant. *** APPLE????? please let mw know if you find SOMETHING i can try next. I'm out of ideas and patience!
